Pemandangan daripada pelbagai cara pengangkutan air, udara dan darat

Salam petang Jumaat 22 Ramadhan. Merujuk pada artikel Taman-taman, pusat peranginan, pemandangan matahari terbit dan sebagainya yang dipersembahkan 5 hari lalu. Ini adalah kategori seterusnya menggunakan artikel-artikel daripada blogspot berbahasa Inggeris BERPETUALANG KE ACEH.

Kategori ini didedikasikan untuk menunjukkan pemandangan dan keadaan sambil saya atau/bersama keluarga keluar mengembara di beberapa tempat dan negara menaiki pelbagai jenis kenderaan. Ada masanya kami menaiki kenderaan sendiri, ada masa kenderaan sewa. Ada masa kami menaiki pengangkutan awam baik atas air, udara dan darat. Ada masanya kami perlu berjalan kaki jauh dan ini biasa berlaku apabila saya keluar mengembara berseorangan tanpa membawa kenderaan. Ada masanya saya hitchhike iaitu menahan lalu menumpang kenderaan orang. Ditunjukkan sekali tempat-tempat berkenaan seperti stesyen kereta api dan lapangan terbang...

Perjalanan darat dengan kenderaan sendiri juga sewa khas

Salam pagi Jumaat 1 Mei 2020 bersamaan 8 Ramadhan tahun 1441 Hijriah. Merujuk pada artikel Tasik, pantai, tepian air dan pulau yang dipersembahkan 10 hari. Pada pengenalan artikel itu ada disebut bahawa ia dipersembahkan setelah berjaya menyiapkan satu bab penuh penulisan tesis untuk ISTAC (Institut Antarabangsa Pemikiran dan Tamadun Islam), kejayaan yang sangat bermakna bagi saya. Ini kerana ia berlaku setelah lebih setahun tesis tiada kemajuan disebabkan hilang rentak penulisan dan sekatan pemikiran (mental block). 

Fikir saya selepas itu akan lancar dapat menyiapkan satu lagi bab insyaallah dalam tempoh seminggu lebih juga. Selepas itu bolehlah dipersembahkan artikel seterusnya mengumpulkan sejumlah artikel daripada blogspot berbahasa Inggeris BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Namun saya menghadapai masalah gangguan rentak penulisan lagi. Oleh itu biar dilepaskan dahulu artikel ini.

Artikel dikhaskan untuk mengumpulkan apa yang telah ditulis tentang bukit bukau, gunung ganang, gua, air terjun malah kolam air panas pun ada. Biar diingatkan ya, ini untuk tempat seperti itu yang pernah saya sampai lalu ada ditulis tentangnya melalui artikel di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Kalau setakat sebut sahaja atau pernah diceritakan sedikit tetapi tiada gambar-gambar yang boleh dijadikan artikel maka tak masuk dalam kumpulan. Kalau ada tentu telah dibuat artikel tentang saya pernah mendaki Gunung Kinabalu di Sabah iaitu gunung tertinggi di Asia Tenggara tahun 1997 bersama rombongan Ketua Menteri Sabah lalu boleh diletakkan pautannya di sini.
